16% inflation in Melbourne Australia

Metlink Sunday tickets now cost $2.90, up from $2.50. That is a 16% increase, absolutely disgusting profiteering by the Melbourne local government - Connex cartel, offering a worse service week by week.

But the average Aussie is too lazy/stupid/politically-naive to do anything to stop this.

Keep your costs down by using a Price Book

A price book is a tool I only just found out about, in the past few months.

It's a method of tracking the prices of stuff you buy often, to make sure you aren't caught out by high prices, and notice trends, often seasonal.

I have set up an online price book so I can add the prices of groceries and stuff I buy often. You're welcome to add to the price book too.

The price book itself

I invite all readers of this blog to enter their best prices in this spreadsheet.

Share the price book.
